Chapter 751 Pulling Strings

"If Nathan finds out about your lab, we're both in deep shit," Eve hissed at Ouyang. She had not expected this reckless obstinacy from him. To think that he just refused her offer!

This bullheadedness was causing her trouble. Her face was set in tight, angry lines as she met his eyes.

"I'll transfer all the equipment in the lab somewhere else. Don't worry. There's no way it would be found out by anyone, unless… someone saw you the last time you injected the poison into Arian's body." Ouyang drew out the words carefully as he watched Eve's expression.

Eve's frown deepened at his insinuation. "What?" she answered sharply. "That's nonsense. It's absolutely impossible. Besides, you should be worrying about other things. If this gets exposed, you'll also be in deep trouble. It's not too late to leave now."

Ouyang's lips broke into a wicked smile at her words. "We both know that it's not me you're worried about. You're just trying to save your own ass," he said.

With her true intentions found out, Eve's face burned in embarrassment. Damn him. He was sharp.

Ouyang chuckled darkly as color flooded her cheeks. "You're afraid that I will be a burden to you, isn't that right? After begging me for so long in the past, now that you've gotten what you wanted, you're kicking me away?"

Eve had no words to counter his accusation. He hit the bulls' eye and threw the truth to her face without holding back.

"This has been a business relationship from the beginning. I paid you to help me. Nothing more, nothing less," Eve said coldly.

"If that's the way it is, then have it your way," Ouyang replied, putting back his earphones. There was nothing left to discuss, and he was not wasting a single second on Eve.

"What do you mean?" Eve spat angrily. She grabbed at Ouyang's arm tightly, demanding her answers.

Ouyang looked at her with cold eyes and stepped forward. "It's as you said, Miss Su. This is just business. You can do whatever you want, and the same goes for me. I don't want to leav

However, he did not pursue the matter any further. Nathan knew that Colin had feelings for Mandy, and as irritating as that fact was, he was sure that Colin wouldn't hurt a hair on her head.

In fact, this could be an opportunity in disguise. If Eve and Colin were cooperating with each other, Mandy would have more reason to completely cut things off with him. Colin had finally stopped using Lisa as an excuse to see Mandy. Nathan's only concern was the child.

Mandy was too soft-hearted for her own good. It would be unthinkable for her to hurt Lisa. The child was not hers biologically, but Mandy had strong feelings of motherhood towards her. Other than Adrian's condition, what Nathan worried most about was Lisa.

It would be so easy for him to get rid of such a weak and helpless kid if he was the man he had been before. However, that was no longer the case.

Evening came, and the hospital was very quiet. Adrian's grandparents from both sides had come to visit him. Mandy was exhausted after the whole day.

Nathan entered the room quietly, only to find her sleeping soundly beside the bed. A faint smile softened his face, and he bent over to Mandy, lifting her up and walking towards the bed nearby.

The anxiety from the past days had made sleep elude Mandy. Her brows furrowed slightly as Nathan moved her.
